I have an XP machine working fine synchronising and backing up my Storm using DM 5.01. I've just upgraded to a new PC running windows 7, installed DM 5.01, and PC installed drivers seemingly ok when connected BB through USB. DM seems a bit temperamental, but generally does detect BB, and syncing with outlook works fine. When I enter the Backup utility within DM, the popup to enter mass storage mode appears. If I click Yes to enter mass storage mode, DM looses connection with the BB and a message pops up to say connection has been lost. Windows autoplay popups appear, telling me mass storage mode has been entered, and I can then access the device and sd memory from there, but I am unable to run the DM backup.

Am I missing something, or is this a Windows 7 issue, as I've never had a problem on my XP machine.

BB Memory settings are as follows:

Med Card Supp - on
encryp mode - none
MTP - on
Mass storage mode support - on
Auto enable mass storage when connected - no

Any help would be very greatfully rec'd

You have this set to no and yet it still automatically enables mass storage mode? :|


Double check that it is set to no and perform a battery pull.

It seems to me that DM needs to access the BB in both mass storage mode and not to perform different tasks. Mass storage mode is only called for during the backup process, syncing is done in 'normal' mode. If I selected YES in the auto enable mass storage on connection, I wouldn't be able to sync with outlook. Further to this, if I plug the BB back into my XP machine, everything works fine.
